The most important race of the year

23.07.2014

Total 24 Hours of Spa begins tomorrow

Fourth round of Blancpain Endurance Series – the Total 24 Hours of Spa – takes place this weekend. For series' regular participants it is the most important round because of double points available compared to other rounds. Regular points (i.e. 25 for the win, 18 for 2nd place etc.) will be awarded at the finish, but after 6 and 12 hours there will be a "payday" as well, though only half points are awarded on both occasions. So all in all, if you happen to be P1 when clock ticks 6 hours from the start and 12 hours and 24 hours, you earn 50 points compared to 25 at all other rounds.
Kevin and his team-mates are certainly among the favorites, having scored P3 and P2 in the first two rounds. Zero points from round three dropped them from lead to P11 in the standings but, hey, THIS is the most important race of the season.
